A Mother of No Destination

A Mother of No Destination isn't very good. I watch a lot of horror and sci-fi and I can enjoy a good movie even if it's bad, but there are limits.

This film is extremely slow. Acting is weird. Computer generated effects look like a Power Point presentation from the 80's and the story is really old. Sound is terrible and ranges from a whisper to a scream.

I suspected the worst already from the opening credits. Fancy lettering taking forever to spell the words. Then seeing one of the characters walking (also forever) in a funny way (and then back again) made me believe it was a comedy, but if it was it wasn't very funny.

To be honest I haven't tried it myself, but I would expect it to be extremely hard to torch a building made from concrete and steel by pouring gasoline on the outside of it. Somebody ought to tell the director.

If you sit through it all watch for the looping space outside the space ship. The stars move only to jump right back to where they started over and over again.

A Mother of No Destination could easily have been trimmed down from 66 to 33 minutes by just shortening the scenes. This wouldn't necessarily have made the movie any better, but it would have made it less boring.

The effects looked like a pre-schooler did them. The lead actress. Overacting. The shots were not good. No reaction to the guy being shot in the head from the crowd around him. The male actor doing the shooting seemed a little confused on his line. Not convincing. Mother crying to family being killed, not convincing. She had dialogue all through her grief. Sometimes the stuff that is not said is important. Film is a visual story, so let the shots tell the story, but the shots needed work as well. The end credits....since when does the crew and production get listed before principle/lead cast members? And why are some of the background actors listed before principle cast members.

In the first few minutes you wonder if its a farce so stiff and staged the acting is, so completely artificial, so utterly barren of any realism. Then with incredulity you realize, yes, they are serious. It looks like it was shot on a cell phone from 20 years ago. The writing is something that would come out of 1950's elementary school production. This takes awful to new heights!

I have a question to all reviwers who liked this movie "Are you on meths? "

Movie makers on crack., don't waste your time on it.
